"Ciento" or "cien"?
► Use cien before a {noun} (even when it follows mil):
... a or one hundred soldiers ... ... cien soldados ...
... eleven hundred metres ... ... mil cien metros ... NOTE: Don't translate numbers like eleven hundred literally. Translate their equivalent in thousands and hundreds instead. ► Use cien before mil and millón:
... a or one hundred thousand dollars ... ... cien mil dólares ...
... a or one hundred million euros ... ... cien millones de euros ... ► But use ciento before another {number}:
... a or one hundred and sixteen stamps ... ... ciento dieciséis sellos ... ► When hundred follows another number, use the compound forms (doscientos, -as, trescientos, -as {etc}) which must agree with the noun:
... two hundred and fifty women ... ... doscientas cincuenta mujeres ... For further uses and examples, see main entry* * *['hʌndrəd]noun cien ma/one hundred — cien
